'''''HS — Undaunted''''' (Japanese: '''よみがえる伝説''' ''Reviving Legends'') is the name given to the third main expansion of cards from the English ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Japanese release is the second of the LEGEND era.

''The greatest Trainers are those who are fearless in the face of battle. And that's you! In the Pokémon TCG: HS—Undaunted expansion, you'll discover battle-ready Pokémon just waiting to be summoned by the fearless Trainer in you! The powerful Rayquaza and Deoxys become a Pokémon LEGEND to be reckoned with...six Pokémon—from Raichu to Umbreon to Slowking—join the ranks of Pokémon Prime...and Stadium cards like the Ruins of Alph and Trainer cards like Legend Box change every player's strategy. Are you ready to be Undaunted?''

'''''Undaunted''''' is the third expansion of cards in the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It features {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{ct|Metal}} Pokémon and was released in English on August 18, 2010. The Japanese equivalent release, '''Reviving Legends''', was released earlier in the year, on February 11, 2010, and is the second LEGEND Era expansion. Released the same day in Japan were the {{TCG|Tyranitar Constructed Standard Deck|Tyranitar}} and {{TCG|Steelix Constructed Standard Deck}}s. The expansion and two decks together introduce Darkness and Metal Pokémon to the Japanese LEGEND Era, in addition to featuring the [[Legendary beasts]] as brand new, dual-type {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}} cards. All releases continue featuring artwork from around the [[Johto]] region and release the first {{TCG|Stadium card}}s of the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series and LEGEND Era.

The English release of this expansion is primarily made up of most of the {{TCG|Reviving Legends}} expansion and the Japanese {{TCG|Tyranitar Constructed Standard Deck|Tyranitar}} and {{TCG|Steelix Constructed Standard Deck}}s, as well as the four remaining cards from the {{TCG|Battle Starter Decks}} and the {{TCG|Leafeon vs Metagross Expert Deck}}, and six {{TCG|L-P Promotional cards}}. Due to the Japanese set's Pokémon LEGEND being released one English expansion earlier in {{TCG|Unleashed}}, Undaunted pulls {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Kyogre & Groudon LEGEND|87}} and {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Rayquaza & Deoxys LEGEND|89}} forward from the next Japanese expansion, {{TCG|Clash at the Summit}}. Thus, these four LEGEND pieces were released in English only one month after their Japanese release.

Reviving Legends contains 4 {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}} cards—{{TCG ID|Reviving Legends|Kingdra|15}}, {{TCG ID|Reviving Legends|Lanturn|20}}, {{TCG ID|Reviving Legends|Tyranitar|44}}, and {{TCG ID|Reviving Legends|Steelix|47}}—''all'' of which were not released in Undaunted and were released one set earlier in {{TCG|Unleashed}} instead, alongside the six Reviving Legends LEGEND pieces ({{TCG ID|Reviving Legends|Entei & Raikou LEGEND|63}}, {{TCG ID|Reviving Legends|Suicune & Entei LEGEND|65}}, and {{TCG ID|Reviving Legends|Raikou & Suicune LEGEND|67}}). The English release, instead, takes the two Pokémon Prime from the {{TCG|Tyranitar Constructed Standard Deck|Tyranitar}} and {{TCG|Steelix Constructed Standard Deck}}s, and four {{TCG|L-P Promotional cards|Promotional}} Pokémon Prime to release the standard amount of six Pokémon Prime per release. These Pokémon are {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Espeon|81}}, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Houndoom|82}}, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Raichu|83}}, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Scizor|84}}, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Slowking|85}}, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Umbreon|86}}.

Undaunted also features the {{p|Eevee}} evolutionary family. {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are the spotlighted Pokémon for this expansion's two {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s: {{TCG|Daybreak}} and {{TCG|Nightfall}}. Both of these two [[Eeveelution]]s also appear as Pokémon Prime and were the Pokémon featured on this expansion's Prerelease sleeves. However, {{p|Glaceon}} does not receive a card, due to the {{p|Leafeon}} and one of the Eevee originated from the {{TCG|Leafeon vs Metagross Expert Deck}}. The other five evolutions originated from the Reviving Legends expansion, which did not feature Leafeon or Glaceon, due to the fact that they cannot be obtained in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} without trading them from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} or {{game|Platinum}}. Thus, all Eeveelutions but Glaceon were in the English release.

The {{TCG|Prerelease cards|Prerelease promo}} for this set is {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Leafeon|17}}. Officially, the English release of the set contains 90 cards. Between alternate Holofoils, promotional stamps, Reverse Holofoils, and {{TCG|Secret card}}s, the set contains 183 cards. A list of the non-standard cards can be seen below.
